Hollywood seems to be stuck on this idea: the bad thing about war is that the men we send off to do the wars come back all sad. There’s so much rich cinema about war, but usually from countries that have wars happen IN them.
London Review of Books‘The representation of Odysseus as a reluctant warlord makes a nonsense of the movie’s imagined world. We are not shown that war or killing are bad, only that good men sometimes feel bad about it – a very different point.’ Emily Wilson on Christopher Nolan’s film. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
